This exact same thing happened to me last night. I left the room to get a drink and my two year old son tilted the console while it was running and made a horrible sound. It won't read mine at all. Is this a common occurrence? Played it for a whole whopping 2 hours total. Did you fix it yourself or take it somewhere? I live in BFE, and don't have many options of places to take it to.

It took all of 30 minutes to build. I used 1-1/4" PVC pipe, 4 90* elbows, 2 T joints, a 45* elbow and some nuts and bolts. I cost less then $20 to build, and definitely looks it.
I stole the design from those $120 steel stands on eBay.

'08 MX5 GT 6spd.
I'd figure out a way to attach the pedals to the foot rest on the recliner and use your PVC to lay the wheel across the arm rests.
It'd be like driving a real car.

I actually built it before I had the recliner, so it was being used on a couch. The new plan is to build an ottoman with all the gear inside. I got all the measurements and drew up the plans earlier this week. I just have to borrow the van from my sister in law because all the wood wont fit in my car.

I downloaded the Jan DLC this morning. Below are a few pictures. I bought these cars and they are NOT stock 
I'm disappointed with the RS5. It sounds good but it's terrible in the corners. It's a stock A-class car but even when upgraded up to A-600, it's still bad. Race-spec tires, the first weight reduction, race brakes, and race suspension and the car still not very good. It'll go in a straight line but it oversteers like no other and don't even get me started slowing the thing down. I brake earlier in the RS5 than any other car in the game.
The Impala is, well, bad. It's a big piece of solid metal from the 90s, what do you expect? I drove it for one lap as a stock car and upgraded it immediately. ZR1 engine with everything else done and it's a S-class car. 0-60 and 0-100 aren't too impressive for a car with >900 horsepower but the top speed is ~244.
The Lamborghini race car is a lot of fun. Compared to typical Lambos, this one is RWD. It's a R3-class car and after widening the tires, improving the brakes, and taking off the engine restrictors, it's right at a R3-800. My only gripe is that the top speed isn't very high, ~187 iirc, and that it's hardly worth the 1,000,000cr price tag. My regular Gallardo with a TT upgrade feels faster in a straight line. Of course the racing version is faster in the corners but that's about it. Even the 570-4 Superleggera feels more planted than the race version but that's more than likely due to the AWD.
Civic Si is slow as balls. Mine is upgraded to C-425 and the speed isn't even 5 out of 10 on the scale. You're out of 4th gear before you hit 100 mph. One upside is that the car sounds great, mean and muscular. Too bad the performance of the car doesn't match up to the sound it makes.
The Pagani Huyryryayyayayayaaaa is fun as hell. 1.8 million credits though which I find hard to justify considering I have tons of other R3 cars.
I haven't driven the Alfa.
The Pinto is dookie. And it doesn't even blow up while driving, what kind of simulator is this?!?!!?!

So is the $300 for a wheel and pedals really worth the price of admission? $300 is a lot to spend on an accessory. That's more than I've spent on XBOX games in 4+ years combined.

I love the wheel. But, admittedly, Im better with the controller then I am with the wheel. I think I just need a bit more practice with it, but its easier to control a slide with the controller.

I don't think they'll model open-suspension cars, unfortunately.
There is a DLC pack out now that contains the Pre-Order cars & Pack for those who never got it. So I finally get my 1M.

I think what pisses me off even more is that Turn 10/Microsoft know that people will pay extra for the preorder cars
